Thank you

Thanks for your thanks for your comment

Yeah steel toes are over rated open toes is where it’s at

@@Cloudranger239 I had been melting a few cans last weekend in my home made crucible of a 4 inch square tube, 6 inches high and 3/8 of an inch thick. I was wondering why I was not getting any higher after having melted a few amount of cans. Turns out my furnace actually melted the crucible after only a second use of it!!! I think I have to dial it down. lol I couldn't believe it and nor did my neighbor. HE was like , WTF Dude????!!!! lol

Dude it’s like your melting with a cutting torch lol

@@Cloudranger239 I use 2 homemade burners pointing at the crucible. I think I went overkill with it. Might able to cast my own iron!!!! lol

Working with what I got

Thank you for the encouragement

I’m no teacher my friend but I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. Q1 Oxides can often be dissolved in weak acid, making copper recovery efficient. Sulphides, on the other hand, don't leach, so they require a different process. Oxides ultimately produce a high-grade copper cathode, while sulfides result in a concentrate which needs further processing at smelters. In terms of recovery; copper oxide takes a process involving a foundry (keeping the crucible covered) and carbon process to get copper metal. And copper sulfide has no oxygen element so oxygen is introduced By heating copper sulphide ores to produce copper oxide which is then treated with sulphuric acid to form copper sulphate. Once you have copper sulphate you can dissolve in water and cement it out with either aluminum or sodium bycarbonate (baking soda). Q2 Nitric acid is way stronger easier to dissolve with but way more expensive, even if you make it yourself it’s tough and time consuming. Sulphuric acid is harder to dissolve wit , but cheap. Done right both will dissolve good, then cement out of solution using the table of reactivity. Q3 Your anode (what ever metal you are using is always sacrificial; meaning it will always dissolve even with a graphite anode). This is why I started using a catch jar under my cathode to keep my pure copper separate from the trash iron and tin that was in the bar I purified in my videos. Q4 To use zinc you can use it as an anode like the iron rod in Q3, or in copper sulphide or sulphate,and nitric solutions you can rough up the surface and just drop it in to cement the copper metal out, because zinc is higher up on the table of reactivity.

It’s an ingredient in casting sand

@@Cloudranger239 ooh gotcha

Should I have checked agin

That’s the plan keep an eye out for that video

I tried but it was less of a mess getting it from the bowl ; I would go through the bowl run it through a sieve then put it back in the bowl so I could grab handfuls at a time

It helps with the clumping

@@Cloudranger239 hahaha noice

Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement

I’m pretty much just using what I got your right a roll or something might speed things up but due to the size of the box and the openness of it since I don’t have much in it it’s not a big deal plus I keep all the drivers pointed the same way helps, I’m also in the future going to use my cnc machine to make some wall hangers for the screw drivers; thanks for your comment

Thanks amigo
